In the South 1939

Yes, some whites and blacks did get along in the South back then. It wasn’t all like Roots.

Washington was the 8th President (or the 18th)

Was George Washington not the first President of the United States of America? The answer is no, he wasn’t. George Washington was the first president under the U.S. Constitution. Someone had to run the country before the constitution was ratified. The U.S. had a running government as early as mid-1774.

Yes, before George Washington there were as many as 17 other presidents. Did you know that? Now you do.

Eye Witness to History

This site provides historical information from the people who were there at the time. Starting with the The Battle of Marathon, 490 BC right up to the end of Watergate.

It’s pretty cool.

The Russian who saved Millions of Americans

An interesting story from the Cold War. When the Soviets shot down Korean Airlines jet 007 things were tense between their cuntry and the West. A computer glitch almost set WWIII in motion. One man with a finger on the button made a wise choice. Many don’t even know who he is, but he may have saved their lives.
